Fabrication, Structure, and Properties of Porous Materials Made of Titanium Fibers and Wire

Resumo

The peculiarities of the fabrication, structure, and properties of porous permeable materials made of VT1-0 grade fiber and wire are investigated. It is shown that they are promising for medicine, in particular, for the replacement of bone defects. These materials make it possible to vary the porosity and related physicomechanical properties in wide limits, maximally approaching the characteristics of bone tissue. They provide conditions for its growth into a pore space, are plastic, and are not liable to chipping.
